What People Are Saying

Real feedback from professionals and homeowners using BidScope.

"Got a ballpark in 4 minutes flat."

I uploaded a 15-page residential set and had numbers before my coffee got cold. The trade breakdown was surprisingly close to my manual estimate.

Marcus T.

General Contractor, Houston TX

"Saved me from a bad deal."

Ran the numbers on a flip property. BidScope showed the renovation would cost 40% more than I assumed. Walked away and saved myself six figures.

Sarah K.

Real Estate Developer, Dallas TX

"Finally, something that speaks contractor."

Other estimating tools feel like they're made for accountants. BidScope actually breaks it down by trade the way my GC does. Made our budget meeting so much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

BidScope provides ballpark estimates within a 15-20% range of actual costs. We use national average pricing adjusted for your region, 30+ construction assemblies with waste factors, and AI vision to measure quantities from your plans. This is ideal for early budgeting — not a replacement for a GC's detailed bid.
PDF files only, up to 50MB. We support multi-page construction drawing sets including floor plans, elevations, sections, MEP drawings, structural plans, and site plans. Each page is classified and analyzed individually.
Most estimates complete in 2-10 minutes depending on page count. A typical 20-page residential plan set takes about 5 minutes. You can watch the progress in real-time as AI analyzes each page.
Foundation/concrete, framing, exterior/siding, roofing, windows & doors, insulation, drywall, flooring, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and painting. Each trade includes material quantities with waste factors and labor hours at regional rates.
